On Thursday night, China blasted off its third high-orbit internet services satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province. 🚀✨
At exactly 9:50 p.m. Beijing Time, the satellite hitched a ride aboard the reliable Long March-3B carrier rocket and successfully soared into its preset orbit. This new satellite joins its two siblings, making it the third member of China's high-orbit internet delivery satellite group. 🌐📡
Fun fact: this launch marks the 538th mission for the Long March rocket series! Talk about racking up those frequent flyer miles! 😎🚀
China's expanding satellite network aims to boost internet connectivity from space, potentially changing the game for global communications. Stay tuned, sky's the limit! 🌠💫
